Major Projects Role: Nuclear New Build
• Co-ordinate solutions to the skills issues face by major infrastructure projects;
• Improve the skills available and productivity of the construction sector through established
products and services;
• Lead and influence the development of new solutions.
In 2012 CITB allocated £2 million funding from levy though the Major Projects department in
order to further the United Kingdom’s construction sector employment and skills agenda within
the Nuclear New Build context.

Through current funded activity relating to the Hinkley Point C project we have been
able to develop training solutions that will realise potential cost saving to the sector
of c. £5m direct training costs and in excess of 50,000 day off-the-job
training over the life of the project

Workforce Planning
The Labour Forecasting Tool: An Overview
•
The labour forecasting tool can estimate the total labour demand on a project by trade and by
month given:
•
Project type
•
Project value (excluding any land, enabling or preparation costs)
•
Location
•
Start date
•
End date (or duration)
© CITB
LFT: an overview
•
Predicts detailed monthly labour requirements
•
Covers a range of different types of construction such as;
•
Housing
•
Public non-residential
•
Infrastructure
•
Industrial
•
Commercial
•
Housing refurbishment R&M
•
Non housing refurbishment R&M
•
Ability to modify factors and gauge the effect on labour profile

Stakeholders and Developments
• Available by purchasing a ‘license agreement’
• Utilised by local authorities, agencies and developers
• Analyses construction pipelines and determines employment and skills opportunities
• Has a range of ‘end user’ coefficients, predicting employment capacity at construction
completion point
• Developments include wind power (on-shore and off-shore), tunnelling and nuclear new build
